I am happy to see math and physics puzzles and curiosities on Discussion, if the writeup is good enough. (In this case, it is not.) I am very unhappy to see these "are you smart enough?" gotcha posts that are Thomas' speciality. And calling you out like this was just creepy.

Huh, I did not get that vibe at all.
And calling you out like this was just creepy.
To be fair, he asked me privately first if this is OK.
As mister shminux mentioned somewhere, he is happy and qualified to answer questions in the field of the Relativity. Here is mine:
A long rod (a cylinder) could have a large escape velocity in the direction of its main axe. From its end, to the "infinity". Larger than the speed of light. While the perpendicular escape velocity is lesser than the speed of light.
Is this rod then an asymmetric black hole?
